# Deleting records   
   
*Cog wheel → Record Delete* can be used to remove records. Its functionality changes based on the screen you are on. For example, on **DRUS**, it removes the selected [Resource](../../notes/Colleague/Registry%20%26%20Resources.md); on **NAE**, it removes individual Person records.   
   
>[!danger] Removing Person records is dangerous, irreversible, and potentially impossible.   
> Removing Person records may also remove linked records from other [files](../../notes/Colleague/Files%20%26%20Tables.md). You may get an error when removing Person records if it is not possible to remove related records.   
   
>[!warning] If *Record Delete* is greyed out, you do not have permission to delete the record.   
>This permission is granted via **SOD**/**SVM**.
